Biography
Yaseinn Taher was born in 1978 in Buffalo, New York to a family from Yemen, and his family gave gifts on Christmas and rarely attended the mosque, although the family forbade the children to date. He was the captain of the high school soccer team and was voted "friendliest" in his 1996 graduating class, but in 2001 he joined five other Yemeni friends (the "Lackawanna Six") in attending al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan after being inspired by a militant imam. He was arrested upon returning to America in 2003, and he did an eight-year sentence.
